Dead Lugworm!

Dead Lugworm!

Folks up at Castlerock know anything about this?

Doesn't necessary have to be pollution. Lugworms do leave their burrows for spawning at spring tides up to late October and at this time deaths following spawning can reduce the numbers of lugworm on a beach by as much as 40 per cent and therefore many dead worms could be found on beaches.

never mind that,,,, the fish up there must be having a feeding frenzy i think a bucket of lug and 3 hook flappers would be the way to go how could you go wrong

red tide?

Strange one this. Never seen this happen with lug worm but i've seen it happen with ragworm they leave there burrows when spawning and get washed ashore in larg numbers.

very true.....thats what this turned out to be! just some old worm casings from the local beds being washed ashore. nothing sinister!
